SonicWall,
the trusted security partner protecting more than one million networks
worldwide, and SentinelOne, the company transforming endpoint protection, today
announced a new agreement to bring together SentinelOne’s next-generation
endpoint protection with SonicWall’s next-generation firewall (NGFW) solution.
By combining the two powerful offerings, SonicWall and SentinelOne will not
only automate the distribution and enforcement of SentinelOne’s Endpoint
Protection Platform (EPP), but also ensure automatic remediation of malicious
attacks such as ransomware in the event of infection by reversing system and
file modifications.

“The
outbreak of global high-profile attacks such as WannaCry and NotPetya have
established that once ransomware penetrates a network, the damage can spread in
a matter of minutes,” said Vikram Phatak, Chief Executive Officer of NSS
Labs. “This
combined solution has demonstrated that it will detect existing and new threats
and automatically respond quickly, all while allowing users to simplify ongoing
enforcement of endpoint protection.”

By
combining the two solutions, SonicWall and SentinelOne will allow
administrators to not only create policies to determine which individuals must
run the endpoint solution on their devices, but also add controls to ensure
that devices are running the endpoint client, if required. Through the
partnership, SentinelOne and SonicWall will also offer threat intelligence
sharing – combining the industry’s fastest conversion from unknown to known
malware via the SonicWall Capture Threat Network with the addition of threat
intelligence from SentinelOne endpoint data. Additionally, the combined
solution brings key features including:

·Policy-based enforcement, compliance, quarantine and remediation

·Cloud-based centralized management and analytics

·Dynamic detection with behavioral models and machine learning

·Automatic remediation of ransomware and other advanced threats

“Combining our
offerings eliminates the need for
organizations to purchase separate endpoint solutions and employ specialists to
install and maintain endpoint protection. We’re proud to partner with
SonicWall to amplify our SMB market coverage, jointly delivering what we
believe is the most effective, holistic, and consumable next-generation
endpoint protection solution available.” said Tomer Weingarten, Chief Executive
Officer of SentinelOne. “Together, we are removing complexity for users and
addressing the reality of our users’ business environments while still
continuing to stop the most advanced as well as never seen before cyber
threats.”

SentinelOne was listed
as ‘most visionary’ in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant, received a
“recommended” rating for Advanced Endpoint Protection from NSS Labs, and is
consistently rated the top EPP product by leading AV testing
organizations. For five straight years,
SonicWall has excelled in NSS’s Next Generation Firewall testing, the industry's
most comprehensive, real-world testing of NGFWs.

“Today’s
partnership agreement with SentinelOne marks the beginning of another important
chapter in SonicWall’s story, as we offer our customers a new, enhanced level
of protection,” said Bill Conner, President and CEO of SonicWall. “Our two
powerful solutions bring enterprise-level security enforcement, as well as
automated detection, prevention, remediation and compliance, to small and
medium sized organizations around the world. The combined offering takes
automated real-time breach detection and prevention to the next level, enabling
our customers to focus on their core businesses and fear less.”

The
combined offering from SonicWall and SentinelOne provides protection to users
operating Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and VDI. It will be available for purchase
in early 2018.
